That was in 2012-13. He had to sit out the final semester at Prep School in the fall of 2009 when he had committed to MU because he was already 21:

He returned to play in parts of November and December but had his season cut short by a phone call Peralta received during Christmas break.
Charis Prep played its final game of the fall semester Dec. 19, one day before Dewitt -- behind in school because of all the turmoil in his life growing up -- celebrated his 21st birthday. Peralta said it was shortly after that time that Missouri coaches dialed his number to inquire if he knew about an NCAA age rule.
“I wasn’t aware of it, and they weren’t either,” Peralta said of the MU coaches. “The NCAA called Missouri to tell them that once a kid turns 21, if he plays in any kind of basketball, even church league, where they keep individual scoring, they lose a year of eligibility, even if it’s just one game.”
After not qualifying at MU, he played from 2009-11 at Chipola JUCO, 1 season at Southern Miss, and 1 season at Southern Indiana. Had he not spent his senior season at a D2 program that didn't require him to sit out a transfer season after leaving Southern Miss, he would have been 26.
